## Discrepancy

ON APPROACH FOR LANDING, THE RT ENGINE FLAMED OUT.  AFTER INSP, A FUEL LINE PN 894568-1 BETWEEN THE FCU AND THE FUEL FLOW TRANSDUCER WAS FOUND CRACKED AT THE ATTACHMENT TO THE FUEL CONTROL.  THIS IS THE SECOND FAILURE OF THIS LINE IN OUR FLEET.  THE FUEL FLOW TRANSDUCER IS SUPPORTED ONLY BY THE FUEL LINES IN AND OUT AND IT IS BELIEVED THIS LEADS TO FATIGUE OF THE LINE.  A SUPPORT BRACKET FOR THE TRANSDUCER WOULD BE BENEFICIAL.
